Thanks for the quick reply!
This is something I've been thinking about for a while.
I'm currently driving an 83 Westfalia Air-cooled and have a brand new
(rebuilt) engine to go into it.
However Waserboxers are all over Texas wrecking yards with fatal engine
failures and some of them are very nice looking vehicles and can be had
very cheap.
Any way I'm a project kinda guy and I've done lot of engine conversions
before for customers; the conversion I liked best was the small block
Chevy into the VandenPlas Jaguar, it was real clean and the customer is
still driving it after eight years.
Thanks for you input, the search is on.
